    Hello.

    It is not possible, because a PDF is a bit like an image, it is a shape without a background, whereas a GPX contains geographical data that define a route.

    The only possible condition would be that the PDF integrates GIS or CAD data, is that the case?

      Hello,

      I had already given a response of the same nature on the other thread.

      There is something peculiar that on this one the duplicate report has disappeared (deleted by its author?) and that the other thread understood this response and another duplicate report was deleted.

      This situation happens regularly and testifies to a lack of discernment by moderation.

      That said, there isn't another solution than downloading the map concerned to your PC and entering the appropriate trace points according to the GPS brand and its mapping editor, for example Basecamp with Garmin.
